COMMUNITY REVIEWS

True story submitted by mandevil on July 25, 2020, 1:07am Ok, but not great.

A good story submitted by Cihendricks on August 10, 2020, 3:26pm The story is good, and most of the acting is solid. I'm a bit uncertain as to whether Keira Knightley was the right choice for Katharine Gun. She comes off as a bit too self-righteous but also flighty when the real Katharine Gun has struck me as someone of a bit more conviction, a bit more solid weight. But overall, it's a pretty good film.

Keira Knightley delivers an average performance submitted by yufamily on August 19, 2020, 1:23pm Somehow, the story just didn't connect with me.
